I found out the other day that slowing down and taking time to enjoy your surroundings can be a good thing. I ran the Disneyland 1/2 marathon on Sunday and because of sore knees brought on by running San Francisco hills while trying to create a new PR, I was forced to slow down a bit. What this allowed me to do was to stop and take pictures and have my picture taken and to really enjoy the first 4 miles of the run which took me through both California Adventure and Disneyland.

As I was trooping along, I figured that would about do it for the park so I began running the long, boring part.
That was, until I was able to see myself as others see me and I began to feel the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
